It has come to note that there are a number of islands in the
Caribbean that are always in the path of hurricanes this time of year.
Rebuilding every year, what with global worming, is expensive. Why
not rebuild entirely underground? Put all the shops, businesses,
dwellings and public buildings
underground, as well as transport
routes, etc. Above ground is where the sunshine is, for the holiday
makers, tourism, etc., and any structures above ground can be
considered 'disposable' - the real ones are underground.

Not certain I'd feel 100% safe, in a hurricane,
underground, below sea level, in the dark, with the
power out, on a low-lying island with third-world
infrastructure and building codes, during a storm
with a big 'storm surge' combined with
global-warming-related sea-level rises...

No, but it sounds like a great plot for a movie ...

Will there be an erupting volcano ? A psychopath in a hockey mask ? Velociraptors ... ?

Sort of The Shining meets Jurassic Park and Dante's Peak, with a side order of Twister ?
